Lot of info to share in one post. Best thing to do is read the post op section. Any general questions you have, I'll be glad to answer. I can tell you that surgery was the best thing I did, but you can't go in to it expecting it to be an easy fix. Your entire life will be changed. Let me know what info you'd like to know about.
There is a lot of info to be shared. I'm almost 6 weeks post op. It has been a long road. I had to do 6 months of seeing a nutritionist for insurance purposes. I had to go on the south beach diet and lose 15 lbs. Which I bearly did....I lost 17 pounds. Surgery was more difficult than I imagined it. I had the gastric bypass. I was on pain meds for two weeks. Even today still have discomfort. I try really hard to get my calories and water in...its a true struggle at times. I do not regret having the surgery one bit. I am down about 42lbs.... that's including my six months pre op. It's not a whole lot of weight loss but I'm ok with my progress. You definitely can't over eat at this early stage... if I put a drop more than my pouch can hold.... it comes back up. Good luck with your process. Any questions just ask.
